I decided to finally jump into the action after reading up. I'm excited to help crunch for a change instead of just browsing the internet/gaming.

I'm starting off slow so my parents don't get slobberknocked with an energy bill that's much higher than normal, so I'll only be crunching main rig about 7 hr a day, while the lappy will be on 24/7 (if it can manage it).

I run the i7 24/7 and hardly use it. The p4ht runs 24/7 and is rare it gets used same for the other p4. Also the phenom 9100e runs 24/7 and sees little use and i also have the 9500 turning in results every so often

Yeah...there'd be no way I could crunch 100k in 28 running days with my rig and lappy

I can't wait to have some sort of job to start building another rig. Once I do, I'm going to turn "The Spot" into a dedicated cruncher.

That would be cool

It's hard to beat a PhII X6 1055T or an i7 860 in terms of PPD/$

I still think that 75k/28days is too much, because that rules out members just folding on a C2Q or PhII X4 or even an X6 or i7 only part of the time. Not everyone has an i7 that they can leave going 24/7

Exclusivity is nice because it makes some people push their systems. I count myself among those that want to make a difference, badge or no badge. Recognition is definitely nice though
